Josiah's Birthday!

Josiah is 9!! Where does the time go? I took cupcakes to his class on Monday. Homemade Carrot Cake cupcakes at his request. He doesn't like cake, but this past weekend he told me that he liked carrot cake. So I whipped up a batch from scratch and brought them in at 2:00pm. Josiah seemed to be really glad I was there and had a great time. His entire class loved the cupcakes and many asked for the recipe. It was very cute. Josiah said it was much better than last year when he was in the German school and the class made fun of his 'different' birthday snack. But this year was different and he felt very special. I gave him a bouquet of yellow roses too and I think he liked them.


We threw together a last minute party for him. His birthday meal was Homemade Mac and Cheese. He has such a good memory that he was telling people that is what he chose for his birthday meal for the past three years. I thought it was so cute.

The next day he told me how a girl in his class that sits at his table asked what I looked like. He told her, "She's beautiful". Then apparently she said, "we'll see". She met me when I came in to have his birthday snack. The next day she told him, "You're right, your mom is beautiful". When he told me this I wanted to cry. I was so impressed and flattered that a 9 year old would think like that of his mommy AND that he would tell a girl that. So cool. I hope he stays that sweet!

God has blessed us with Josiah and we are so happy to have him in our lives. Here are a couple pictures of his birthday...
